In the money at this track at his last couple of starts, most recently finishing third over 480m. Won't find this any harder. Hard to beat with even luck.

Races well at this course and distance. Last start finished 4th over 480m at this track beaten 3.5 lengths (29.29) behind Carrabbas in an A3 on August 12. Has been thereabouts of late and is among the chances.

Good effort to score last start by 2.25 lengths over 480m at this track in 29.12, beating Ballinderry Faye. Sure to be about the mark.
